23. NOT INTERESTED
Mei decided to go out for a walk to enjoy the night breeze. She wanted to organize herself after coming across loads of information. She paired a random hoodie with sweatpants and a pair of shoes before heading out.
She walked down the street with no direction and destination. The moonlit night created an ambience for healing and relaxing. She took a turn into the alleys and went where her legs took her.
After searching up Hui she understood the farther she was away from him the safer she would be. She could also guess for sure that he would look her up based on his background.

Where the hell did, I hit my head.’ Before she could complete cleaning, her forehead Hui grabbed her hand and pulled her along his direction. She struggled to

She wore it like an armor which made her aura strong and unique.Her cold expressions with this unbeatable aura made her unapproachable.She headed straight to her cabin. She was followed by her assistant, Ai Chyou, on her way. Chyou recited the first few tasks of the day to get started with."Hmmm....One strong espresso with a pack of sweetener." she responded before parting ways with Chyou.

Don't Take Me Lightly 6. A FRIEND
The cool wind brushed against her as she dashed over the tall building roofs. Not far away she could see UM Apartments. She increased her speed as she headed towards its direction.The minimal small decorative artistic protrusions on the walls of the apartment, always made climbing easier.

She checked the locations to spot for CCTV cameras to see if anyone of them had recorded her. She had gotten her findings about the cameras mixed up last time, almost getting herself into trouble.
